1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving a first control signal indicating a plurality of cells assigned to a virtual cell group, the plurality of cells comprising a first cell and a second cell that support communications for the UE, the first cell and the second cell associated with different radio frequency spectrum bands, wherein a frequency gap between the first cell and the second cell exceeds an operating band threshold;
receiving a second control signal that indicates resource allocation information for the virtual cell group, the resource allocation information indicating a first set of resource allocation information for a first shared channel for the first cell and a second set of resource allocation information for a second shared channel for the second cell; and
communicating the first shared channel via the first cell based at least in part on the first set of resource allocation information and the second shared channel via the second cell based at least in part on the second set of resource allocation information.
